How does trig work? I have always wondered this, what logic goes into it???
I actually kind of want to build a trig calculator in red-stone but I imagine it would be far too complex!

Please, write clearly with proper structure. Double spacing makes the text feel un-jointed, Capitalizing Every Word Means People Stop Before Every Word Sub-Consciously Which Is A Pain In The Backside, and use code tags! (The right most styling box).

There are two models for it. The simplest is a right triangle. Looking at one of the other two angles, sine(angle) = opposite side / hypotenuse. cosine(angle) = adjacent side / hypotenuse. tangent(angle) = opposite side / adjacent side.

There are a bunch of identities, but the core is SOH-CAH-TOA.

Programming is a branch of mathematics.
